I'm giving my testimony. Doesn't mean it did or didn't happen, just means it didn't happen to me at the time I checked. Maybe it happened and got rolled back in 3 minutes. Maybe it happened to some users and not others. Maybe it didn't happen at all. I checked as soon as I heard about it and didn't see what this article describes.
Bro, many people paid closer attention than you did. Before you run around screaming "fake news" you need to get your facts straight. Think first, comment second. It's better that way.
The honest pathway open to you now is to admit you're wrong.
Not "if". It happened. It's interesting how willing you are to promulgate a false narrative.
> (1) in effect for less than 3 minutes after taibbi posted about it
False. It was in effect for long enough for many articles to be written about it and many people to see it. I saw it myself.
> (2) affected only a subset of users
False. It even affected non-Twitter users. I don't use Twitter and I saw it.
